Vodka Water

"This is a nice refreshing drink made by the pitcher for long hot daze or for a crowd. Tastes like lemonade, so watch yourself ;) One great thing about this drink.... it's half water so you keep yourself hydrated... and very versitle with the citrus. I've made this with regular vodka and substituted the citrus, lemons, oranges, limes, very versable ...add simple syrup, if you like it sweeter. it's delicious both ways. Enjoy --V"

  1. It was a hot hot day today, we were cooking in the kitchen and both hubby and I really wanted a cool drink. We only had citrus vodka and triple sec in the house, so I made these. At first I made as written, and it was good but it needed something more. So I added a little triple sec, some sugar, orange flavored water and a few crushed mint leaves. It ended up tasting a lot like a mojito and was great for a hot summer night. Loved the fresh oranges in this. Thanks for the inspiration, Chef V!
     
  2. This has to be good for you with all those juices in it right? Loved the taste. Made for Beverage Tag.
     
  3. V my dear friend, you make a killer drink! I did make a couple of substitutions though, only out of necessity. I searched everywhere for mandarin vodka, but couldn't find it. I found EVERY other flavour under the sun, but no mandarin, so maybe it isn't available here in Canada. So I decided to keep the citrus theme and use lime flavoured vodka. Then, off to the grocery store, where I found no tangerines! ARGH! So this is what I did, in a pitcher, I mixed 1/4 full of lime vodka, 1 whole sweet navel orange, 1/2 a lemon and 1/2 a lime, then filled the pitcher up with ice and topped it with water. WOW!! Was this good! I drank it at a girls weekend and I was the only one not holding my head in misery the next day, I was hangover FREE LOL! This is my new favourite drink, and I can't wait to try all the variations I've been reading about. Thanks for posting my friend! When you come to Canada, you will have to bring me some mandarin vodka so we can try it the original way together! :)

I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left.
